Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

Chapter 88: Lu Changsheng's Search for Immortality (1)

In the middle of the night, Lu Changsheng struggled to get up from the bed. He had not eaten a drop of water or a grain of rice the whole day, and he was awakened by hunger.

Lu Changsheng stood up, walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water. He drank it eagerly and couldn't wait.

The pale moonlight poured through the window onto the ground, as if a layer of white frost had formed on the ground.

Lu Changsheng felt the chill penetrate into his bones, and he shivered and tightened his clothes.

The cold tea went down his throat, taking away the warmth that Lu Changsheng had brought from the quilt. He sat on the stool like a cold puppet.

"I'm alive?"

Lu Changsheng stretched out his hands. His fair and slender hands were bloodless, and his hands were shaking even when he was holding a cup of tea.

The feeling of emptiness in his body made him feel tired and sleepy, but the hunger in his stomach kept him awake.

He picked up the teapot with both hands and poured the tea together with the whitish tea leaves.

The burning sensation in my stomach from hunger finally subsided a little.

Looking at the full moon outside the window, Lu Changsheng thought of moon cakes, werewolves, reunion and separation.

"Will the moon be as round as it is tonight on the Lantern Festival?"

the next day.

Lu Changsheng packed his luggage, locked the door of the martial arts hall, and went to Wanmin Hall to have breakfast.

The cooking skills of Wanmintang are impeccable. Master Mao's cooking skills are first-class, and Master Mao's daughter Xiangling's cooking skills are no worse than those of the chefs of Liuliting and Xinyuexuan.

Liuli Pavilion and Xinyuexuan, the two leading restaurants in Liyue, monopolized the high-end mountain and sea products in Liyue respectively. It was like the eldest and the second were fighting, but the third and fourth were the ones who suffered.

The fight between these two restaurants has caused many restaurants that are slightly inferior to them to go bankrupt.

Chef Mao of Wanmintang founded this restaurant for the common people because he couldn't stand their practices.

Unfortunately, Chef Xiangling went to Mondstadt to look for ingredients a few days ago, and we don’t know when he will be back.

When he arrived at Wanmin Hall, Lu Changsheng ordered a dish of Four-sided Peace and a plate of boiled fish fillet, which he really wanted to eat but had not tasted for a long time.

Due to Lu Changsheng's physical condition, his usual diet is very light, and he likes spicy food.

For example, the spicy boiled fish fillet from Wanmintang, Lu Changsheng has been craving for it for a long time.

I can finally taste it today, but I may never have the chance to taste this boiled fish fillet again.

The taste of the boiled fish fillet is really strong. When you put the tender and smooth fish fillet into your mouth, the spicy juice seems to ignite the taste buds on the tip of your tongue.

Lu Changsheng was sweating profusely while eating and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Without paying attention, he used the tissue that he had just used to wipe the corner of his mouth to wipe his sweat, and the tissue stained with red oil left a scratch on his forehead. However, Lu Changsheng didn't pay any attention to it and just kept stuffing the fish slices into his mouth frantically.

This taste is simply unstoppable!

A large portion of boiled fish fillet was eaten up by Lu Changsheng alone.

The remaining Quartet of Peace had just been served, still steaming hot and untouched. Lu Changsheng gave this Quartet of Peace to the little girl with sheep horns who was eating salad next to him. She drooled as she watched him eat the boiled fish fillet.

Before the soft and sweet little beauty could say no, Lu Changsheng just walked away and gave the money to Chef Mao when ordering.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Changsheng walked towards the Wangsheng Hall.

Wangsheng Hall and Bubu Lu are very close to each other, on the same street.

Lu Changsheng was very familiar with this road. Even with his eyes closed, he could tell when to lift his feet and when to turn when walking along this road.

Different from the bustling and bustling Wanmin Hall, as an organization in the funeral industry, ordinary people try to avoid the Wangsheng Hall if possible. They spit when they see the Wangsheng Hall sign to get rid of the bad luck.

So even in broad daylight, there was no one near the Hall of Rebirth, not even people taking a walk.

Occasionally, pedestrians passing by would unconsciously speed up their pace and hurriedly flee from this place.

dong dong.

Lu Changsheng knocked lightly twice on the door of the Hall of Rebirth. After a long time, no one responded. He knocked heavily twice again before he heard footsteps.

"I'm here." The person who opened the door was a young lady from the ceremonial hall of the Rebirth Hall, whose name was not worth mentioning.

"Oh, does this customer need anything? The coffins in the Wangsheng Hall are on sale recently, and larger quantities are better." The ceremonial girl looked at Lu Changsheng, who had a deathly look on his face and looked like he would not live long, and enthusiastically promoted her own products.

Lu Changsheng smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I have already surpassed the ultimate VIP service of Wangsheng Hall, and I am also the lifetime honorary member of Wangsheng Hall selected by Hall Master Hu."

Knowing that the sales were gone, the sweet smile on the ceremonial girl's face immediately disappeared. She yawned, stretched, and asked lazily: "Then, dear ultimate VIP customer, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'm here to see Master Hu. Is she here?"

"Master Hu?" The ceremonial officer's little sister had a gossipy expression on her face and asked, "She just came back in the early morning. She should be catching up on her sleep in her room now."

"If it's not something very important, I still suggest you not to disturb Master Hu."

"However, your ultimate VIP is not cheap. Are you really attracted to our Hall Master Hu? Although our Hall Master deals with the funeral industry all day long, she is also a lovely and beautiful girl, not to mention her quirky personality, which is a super plus point..."

Lu Changsheng took out a letter from his pocket, stuffed it into the ceremonial officer's younger sister's hand, and then left quickly.

"Please, this beautiful lady, help me deliver the letter to Master Hu."

If you don't leave now, this gossipy ceremonial officer will start talking about the rituals and procedures for the wedding.

“Zhongyuan offal, delicious and not expensive~”

"Grilled goby~"

"Take a look, take a look, the latest version of Elemental Ninja is on sale at a bargain price."

"..."

The vendors on the street were shouting their wares loudly, pedestrians were coming and going in an endless stream, delicious snacks were emitting fragrance, and exquisite ornaments and antiques were placed on the stalls, quietly waiting for people to appreciate them.

The street was dazzling, but Lu Changsheng was short of money, so he just packed some Mora meat as food for the journey.

As they walked, they left the bustling Liyue Harbor and came to a wilderness where few people had ever been.

When leaving the city gate, the Qianyan Army guarding the city strictly checked passers-by. Lu Changsheng's attire was obviously that of a Liyue person, so he easily passed the inspection.

Suddenly I heard that there is a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain is in the midst of nothingness.

There have always been rumors about immortals in Liyue Harbor, and there have always been desperate people who want to go to the mountains of Liyue to look for immortals.

But after so many years, I haven't heard of anyone actually finding the immortal.

Most people returned disappointed, which was considered lucky. Some unlucky ones died directly in the wilderness.

Lu Changsheng went to look for immortals. If he could find an immortal and heal his illness, he would go home happily. If he could not find an immortal, then he, Lu Changsheng, was ready to die in the wilderness.

I hope that Hall Master Hu will build a cenotaph for him because he is the ultimate VIP of the Wangsheng Hall.

At least after death, you won't have to suffer anymore.

As soon as Lu Changsheng entered the wilderness, he walked along the places where there were fewer people, going wherever there were fewer people and climbing the highest mountains.

If you encounter a dangerous monster, take a detour. If you encounter a treasure-stealing group that blocks your way and robs you, just give in.

Lu Changsheng looked sick, and the monsters didn't want his flesh, fearing that he would have diarrhea. The treasure-hunting group saw that he didn't have anything valuable on him, so they told him to leave quickly, so that he wouldn't die here and bring bad luck to the treasure-hunting group's camp.

If you happen to meet a kind-hearted adventurer, you will give him some dry food.

When Lu Changsheng was thirsty, he drank spring water; when he was hungry, he ate wild fruits. He staggered all the way and actually climbed over Tianheng Mountain, passed through Dunyu Mausoleum, and arrived at Tianqiu Valley.

Go further, pass Cuiyu Slope, and you will reach Jueyunjian.

Lu Changsheng had also conducted a careful investigation before. He had been seriously ill before, and even the famous doctor Bai Shu could not cure him. Lu Changsheng then planned to look for immortals.

However, the search for immortality was too ethereal, and his illness would last for a long time, so he had not made up his mind.

It was not until he learned that he only had three months left that Lu Changsheng finally made up his mind to go in search of the immortal.

Lu Changsheng had done some research before and even bought a map marking the distribution of monsters from the Adventurer's Association, which was why he was able to get here safely.

The monster was so hungry that he didn't care whether Lu Changsheng was sick or not. He was almost starving to death, so there wouldn't be anyone who would be picky about food.

If he was unlucky enough to encounter such a hungry monster, Lu Changsheng would choose to throw away his dry food and sacrifice his car to save himself. Compared with Lu Changsheng who had only a few pounds of meat, the fragrant dry food was more delicious.

It was because they had no experience, and even if they were ready to regroup, they would still make mistakes. Lu Changsheng, who had no experience in wilderness adventures, was always chased by monsters while carrying a large bag of fragrant Mora meat. He could only reluctantly throw all the Mora meat to the monsters, asking them to let him go.

That day, Lu Changsheng, who was starving, was about to pick two fruits to eat, but he ended up running into the wild boar's territory.

The fat and strong wild boar was not only narrow-minded, but also very vengeful. It chased Lu Changsheng two miles away and continued to chase him. Even the Qiuqiu people would only chase him for one mile and give up if they couldn't catch up.

Because of the vitality that Bai Zhu secretly injected into Lu Changsheng's body, coupled with the training of trekking through mountains and rivers in the past few days, Lu Changsheng's body not only did not collapse, but became much stronger. He also looked much more energetic, and no longer had the sickly feeling of being seriously ill as before.

Lu Changsheng even thought that his illness had been cured and happily considered whether to return to Liyue Harbor.

As a result, he vomited two taels of blood that night, which made the surrounding wild beasts very excited.

According to Bai Zhu's calculations, the vitality he injected into Lu Changsheng's body was enough for him to get through the last three months without illness or pain.

But with that amount of vitality, how could it withstand Lu Changsheng's efforts?
